Pumpkin gratin is a delightful and comforting dish that combines the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with the rich flavors of nutmeg, parmesan cheese, and buttery breadcrumbs. This recipe is perfect for a cozy dinner or a festive holiday side dish. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious pumpkin gratin that will impress your family and friends.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pumpkin: Peel, seed, and cut the pumpkin into small cubes. Ensure the cubes are of uniform size for even cooking.
3. Cook the Pumpkin: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the pumpkin cubes and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but still hold their shape. Drain well and set aside.
4. Season the Pumpkin:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pumpkin cubes with ground nutmeg.
- Toss gently to coat the pumpkin evenly with the nutmeg.
5. Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the crumbled white bread and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the melted butter over the breadcrumb and cheese mixture.
- Mix thoroughly until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the butter and cheese.
6. Assemble the Gratin:
- Lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of butter.
- Spread the seasoned pumpkin evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin.
7. Bake the Gratin:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
- You can check if it’s done by inserting a fork into the pumpkin; it should be tender.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a main course.

Tips:

- Choose a fresh, ripe pumpkin to enhance the flavor of your gratin.

- Ensure the pumpkin slices are uniformly cut to cook evenly in the oven.

- You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary to add an extra layer of flavor.

- To make the dish lighter, consider using whole-grain bread or reducing the amount of butter.

- For a crispy topping, broil the gratin for the last few minutes of baking.
